machines or compound/complex machines.

Compound or complex machines are made up of two or more simple machines.

Examples of compound machines include bicycles and sewing machines.

We use simple machines in various daily activities, such as cutting or slicing fruits and
vegetables, opening cans or bottles, and many more. Simple machines are utilized in
schools, industries, businesses, clinics, hospitals, laboratories, and even in transportation
systems like cars, ships, and planes to transport people and goods efficiently.
